Librivox recording of A Selection from Young Adventure, A Book of Poems by Stephen Vincent Benét.
Read by Bryan Ness.
Stephen Vincent Benét (July 22, 1898 March 13, 1943) was an American author, poet, short story writer and novelist. He is best known for his book-length narrative poem of the American Civil War, John Brown's Body (1928), for which he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1929, and for two short stories, "The Devil and Daniel Webster" and "By the Waters of Babylon".
It was a line of Benét's poetry that gave the title to Dee Brown's famous history of the destruction of Native American tribes by the United States: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. (Summary excerpted from Wikipedia)
This recording includes the Dedication, Foreword and first 16 poems from Young Adventure, A Book of Poems.
